The Host

1 AM when he wake up
Few more hours gotta stay up
Had a little fight cause he’s out all night
But him and his girl just made up
He lives in apartment tower
He reads Resident Advisor
He drinking a beer in the shower
Got more drugs than Pfizer
His club is the new Hacienda, new Tony Wilson
Party 24 hours, need intervention
Got a PA system, rotary mixer
Don’t know how to use it, think it sounds sicker
Oh shit, buy a drink, get some more liquor
Smalltown boy, west end, feeling bigger
Whole club burning up but it’s still winter
Used to give him a buzz, it’s a lot dimmer
Welcome to the party! The soundsystem is booming, you know, we got the same
system as Fabric. Nah, for real. Any shit you need, I got it. And if I don’t
got it, he’s got it, that guy in the corner’s got it, so don’t worry.
And we’re not getting shut down tonight, no way! You see, we paid that extra
fee, if you know what I mean. But hey, who’s your friend though,
what’s her name? Hey, I’m your host for the evening. You need a drink,
just let me know
Pigs wanna come through and raid
Even though he always pays
Handing out fines but you know it’s all fine
Just come up with a fake name
Larry when he gets on stage
Frankie when he play at the rave
At the nightclub, he feel like Ron
His life is a Cajmere song
He play a little Afrobeat, thinks it’s really chill
Don’t know black folks, none on the bill
When a girl’s on the decks, might pay her less
Won’t show no respect, all he want is sex
Palm trees on his shirt, might grab her breast
Done a few things sketch, got no regrets
‘Til he had to leave the scene, stressed
Eulogy for a club vet
Voice 1: Yo, whatever happened to that guy?
Voice 2: Man, I heard he just got outta rehab and now he’s living with his moms.
He owed the plug too much, vice squad was sending undercovers to the venue so
he had to bounce. Plus I heard he was lurking on girls and shit
Voice 1: Damn, that’s crazy. He used to be the man like ten years ago.
His parties were always dope but he definitely seemed a little bit off
Voice 2: Word, I can’t believe he used to actually live there during the week
Voice 1: That shit was sketchy, man. Things have gotten way better without him.
I hope he never comes back!
